Ironically I just set a PB in 3x3 single and ao5 haha.
If it makes you feel any better, I know of a guy who is competing that can barely even solve the cube
Yeah, Anthony you should go while you have the chance.Either way, you should compete. Central USA doesn't get many competitions (that very reason is why I've decided to start hosting my own), so if you miss this one, then it will be quite a while until the next. (Probably until June or July or something. My school isn't open during the summer, so I would have to find a new venue.)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could get my school. Maybe not for free but at least cheap. I am already in pretty good standings with my school concerning cubes because I taught a Rubik's class on how to solve a 3x3 after school for my school's math club (even though ironically it involved no math) and the teacher of the club is really nice so who knows? I think that the first step would be to find a delegate though.I have not looked into it to much but I would think the first thing to do would be find a venue where you may be able to (you could see if your school would let you use it like shadow did) I would be on an organization team
Ok, I cleared it. Sorry, it's filled up pretty quick from messaging a lot of people haha. Yeah, a delegate is definitely the first thing.yea you gotta have the delegate or all the planning in the world isn't going to do you any good.
Also clear your inbox rocky I can't pm you.
Cutoffs are times that you have to be under in order to do that event, The purpose of cutoffs is to make sure the comp doesn't take forever. It isn't used for short events like 3x3 because even if you are slow it doesn't take long. There are soft cutoffs and hard cutoffs. If you do a solve and can't make the soft cutoff then your solve and average is DNFd, but if you make the soft cutoff but not the hard cutoff you have one more solve to be under the hard cutoff or the average is DNFdSo when we talk about cutoffs at competitions what exactly does that mean?
A lot of my PB's were done with an old method that I am trying to break myself away from. I am now going to Fridrich F2L intuitive which makes my times range from 55 - 90 seconds.

I tried six delegates for Feb 21st last month, and all said no! I would like to do one this summer so will definitely talk to the veteran cubers at the Lawrence comp and start planning.
and a venue. I have been looking for venues and the best I have come up with is a library and I have not contacted them about it (I am on pretty good terms with a few of the librarians but that branch is no where near big enough)
Well out of six surely one of them will be able to find a good date.They were all busy, but I have their contact information so it's a matter of drilling down the time. Summer is pretty busy for me, so I haven't been able to narrow down a date yet.
Yeah, we'd probably need at least a 3500 square foot room and tables with it. My school is definitely an option, I haven't talked to anybody about it yet, but I bet I could get it. I was like looking stuff about square feet and a high school basketball court is 4200 square feet and so the whole gym is probably more like 9,000.and a venue.

I've walked around inside before just exploring it and if I'm picturing the same room as you are talking about that would be more than enough. Also, I would split the cost of renting it, and then we should also probably pay whoever the delegate will be for gas and a hotel. I don't really want to lose money doing this comp though nor do I want to really profit, so we should plan to come out about even.I found a church in Olathe that's willing as long as the date doesn't conflict with their other events. Price is reasonable, but I'm willing to pay for it out of my pocket to host it locally, which is cheaper than traveling to a comp more than 5 hrs away. Gas, hotel, food, etc. all adds up.
